A Short-Term Resistance Training Circuit Improved Antioxidants in Sedentary Adults with Down Syndrome

Table 3

Effects of resistance training on antioxidant defence system and markers of oxidative damage in sedentary young adults with Down syndrome.

	Exercising group		Control group
	Pretest	Posttest	Baseline	Final	Cohen’s
TAS (nmol/l)		^a,b			1.14
SOD (U/gHb)					0,17
GR (U/gHb)		^a,b			1.33
GSH (mg/ml)		^a,b			0.83
Vit. E (μmol/l)					0.19
Vit. C (μmol/l)					0.16
MDA (μmol/l)		^a,b			1.04
CG (nmol/mg)		^a,b			0.79

TAS: total antioxidant status; superoxide dismutase activity; GR: glutathione reductase activity; GSH: reduced glutathione; Vit E: vitamin E or α-tocopherol; Vit. C: vitamin C or ascorbate; MDA: malondialdehyde; CG: carbonyl groups. Results were expressed as . ^a versus pretest; ^b versus control group (final).
